摘要

Edinburgh Napier University hosted a huge gathering of European civil engineeringstudents for one week in May 2009 for the International Project Week 2009 (IPW 2009).The week long event saw over 300 students and staff from 8 institutions across 7countries (Scotland, The Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, France, Spain and Latvia)come together for a week of internationalisation, site visits, project work, networking,tourism and socialising.The event was opened by the Scottish government Education Minister – such was thehigh profile nature of the event – and attracted local media coverage. After an openingsession of short presentations from industrialists on the projects to be visited later in theweek, the students were placed into groups of 6 to begin their week-long project work.Each group comprised a student from each participating institution (as best as numberswould permit) and the new friendships commenced immediately. The project work wasfun yet educational, and the students had to gather information on what they saw andheard throughout the week working as a team. Site visits to major civil engineeringprojects going on in and around Edinburgh were orchestrated and the support fromindustry in enabling this was wonderful. The site visits ran over a 2 day long period andthe week closed with another day of fun and educational group work. Evening socialisingevents were organised and the friendships, started on the first day, grew and matured inthe evenings and through the week.IPW 2009 was a phenomenal success and all participants left the city with fantasticmemories, new friendships and in awe at the civil engineering projects they hadwitnessed and the hospitality they had received. For all participants the week was to bethe most memorable week in their entire civil engineering education. In terms of studentexperience, IPW 2009 quite simply took things off the scale. The paper describes thebackground to the IPW network and the Edinburgh event, together with details of all ofthe activities undertaken by the students. The objective of this paper is to illustrate to allcivil engineering departments around Europe the importance of such an event and toencourage those departments that don’t currently engage in such an event, to considerdoing so in the future.
